Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce wheel of brie cheese
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 package crackers or baguette slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Unwrap the wheel of brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the brown sugar and honey until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sliced almonds.
Pour the brown sugar and almond mixture over the top of the brie, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the brie is soft and gooey but not completely melted.
Carefully remove the brie from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring it to a serving plate.
Serve warm with crackers or baguette slices for dipping.
